During the week of the Florida Educational Technology Conference in March 2006, Paul Clark, Bob Goeman, and Mark Carnevalo spent several hours playing with Google Earth software and available KML files on the Internet. KML files contain information that links data and media from Internet websites to earth locations represented in the Google Earth program. This podcast is a recording of an informal interview with Paul, Bob and Mark the last night of FETC 2006. Clearly the instructional possibilities for using Google Earth to engage students in ill-structured problem solving are limited only by our imaginations, and the time we are willing to dedicate to both learning about geographic information systems (GIS) via Google Earth and helping others learn.
